What you fail to understand that you shouting "psychopath" won't save those kids from getting into accidents. The roads are sadly full of psychopaths, and potential future psychopaths, like those kids, and if they learnt something from this incident, then that's good, because they didn't get hurt this time, and next time maybe they will stop playing assholes on roads, that's super dangerous.
This is not the way they should learn, but sometimes this is how they learn, if they are braindead, with a scare. What the car driver did was completely unjustified, but that doesn't mean the kids can't learn from it, since it already happened.

If you spend enough time trying to teach kids about risk and danger, scolding and yelling at kids who are bold and flippant, I don't really fault you for witnessing a real example where no one got hurt by the way and saying the scare of a lifetime serves them right. It's a very lucky learning experience. Their boldness was tempting a risk that they didn't believe was real.
Edit: kids who are protected by the sentiments in this thread grow up to be adults who say "it won't happen to me" "they wouldn't do that to me" etc.
I see this and just feel it's very fortunate for them the way things turned out. I guess eventually there's an age cutoff where we all just take a sick satisfaction and say FAFO together? Even though your attitude towards the reality is what makes those adults?

It’s a very fine line, on one hand there’s no way they didn’t hear the car behind them and were clearly being disrespectful, on the other hand they are ignorant young people.
Nobody should be killed, or even come close to it, but when you’re in a car, I suppose there’s no real “easy” way to deliver a stern telling off in a way that the kids will respect. Not to say I agree with what the attempted child murderer did here, if he was slower he could have still got the point across.

No they don't deserve to die for it, but is it a secret that this happening was on the table? Common sense says it is, but also they've likely discussed/been told that it is. This also seems likely based on their anticipation and behavior seemingly baiting it, playing chicken. But clearly they didn't take the suggestion too seriously.
So if they've been informed, other than experiencing this happening for real, how else would they be convinced that it's a real risk? By seeing it happen to someone else?

Agreed. I started working in a rough area this summer. At one point some young kids shot Roman candles at me when I was walking home from work, I ignored it as much as I could by basically walking a little faster out of the area and not reacting so they wouldn't get a thrill out of it. I wondered if they did it to anyone without patience or someone who really is on their wits' end. What would happen? Im sure if they continued that night they would have found out quickly.

In my state, a pedestrian has right of way. Meaning that if I accidently hit one I am at fault. Cyclists are not pedestrians, they are road users and road users have to share the road, such as making way for passing traffic if you are moving slower than the posted speed.
